Why cannot colonial famines be analyzed only by lack of rainfall?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because revenue policy food distribution markets exports and administrative response were also important

The direct answer is A: colonial famines also depended on revenue policy, food distribution, markets, exports and administrative response. Rainfall matters, but famine is not simply the same as drought. Step by step: rainfall may reduce harvests; revenue demands can still pressure cultivators; food may be moved to markets or exported; prices can rise beyond poor people’s purchasing power; transport and relief decisions can worsen or reduce deaths. Therefore food availability and people’s access to food must both be studied. A is correct because it uses a multi-cause explanation. B is wrong because famines did occur. C is wrong because agriculture is closely connected with society, work, prices and survival. D is wrong because food production did not increase everywhere during famine. Memory cue: drought is a natural event; famine also asks who can obtain food and how authorities respond.
